Lights, Camera, Action!

First United Methodist Church has been a favorite location for major film productions and photography for decades.


About Our Facility

Our site offers a variety of distinctive spaces for interior or exterior filming, as well as the ability to be a basecamp to Pasadena filming.

The sanctuary, with seating for 1,400 people, houses an EM Skinner Organ with hand carved casing, a rose window in French Gothic style and beautiful stained glass windows.

The chapel, offering seating for 180 people, was designed by Thomas P Barber and completed in 1924. It reflects a traditional English College gothic style and includes a round Tiffany window from the original church building.
